The word "spam" is a type of canned meat. It became the term for the act of sending an annoying message many times over the internet after the Monty Python "Spam Sketch" in which every item on the menu contains spam, with the person not liking spam.

According to Dictionary.com, spam is disruptive messages, especially commercial messages posted on a computer network or sent as e-mail. Basically, short, off topic, and just plain annoying posts.

I have also heard of a word "spim," which is IM spam (from where I heard it).

Except the admins would be unlikely to fall for that except as a joke. "Spim" would be even less appropriate for AG forums because this isn't IM.

Meh, I fail at puns. )':

So AG "spam". No spim or spag. Just spam. Got it.

Back on topic, spam is annoying. I hate it when people say "thnks" to walk through's or information steps. That's spam makes me angreh. And the "luv it!" comments are useless and non contributing. Spam, go BAM!

Doesn't work all the time. Facebook spam: Spfb. Myspace spam: Spms. Deviant Art spam. Spda.

'Spag' is pretty funny though.

I can imagine what they call spamers on Twitter...

Spitters, haha.

Anyways, I'll leave this thread to hopelessly and quickly burn to ashes, while I drink my pop nearby and watch.

*But little did he know I put lizard urination in his pop* (;

So, internet spam list of awesome names:

Twitter: Spitter
AG: Spag
IM: Spim
Facebook: Spacebook (Lawlz)
StumpleUpon: SpammerUpons

So, actually answering the question: What do you think the word SPAM is?. Just annoying stuff that get's in the skin, that nobody wants to hear or care about.
